Opinion
Upon which the Couet refused to commit him in execution. The summons was simply signed by the commissioners, stating themselves as such. There was also a certificate that he did attend yesterday at Baltimore agreeably to his summons. See the bankrupt law of the 4th of April, 1800, § 22, which declares that the bankrupt shall be free from arrest; and on producing the summons or notice under the hands of commissioners, shall be discharged, if arrested.
